30,000 Years of Art

The story of human creativity across time and space is an accessible, fun and informative compendium of world art that offers an original and fresh way of looking at the whole of art history from 28,000 BC to the present day. The book breaks through the usual geographical and cultural boundaries by presenting 1,000 masterworks of art in simple chronological order, demonstrating what was being created all over the globe at the same time. Each work is accompanied by key caption information and a text that provides more information on the work and its art historical context. The resulting timeline leads to compelling browsing: surprising juxtapositions offer intellectual pleasure and a sense of wonder and discovery. A comprehensive index, illustrated timelines and a glossary of terms and movements make this book an invaluable reference tool and teaching resource.
